Green Pea Hummus
Submitted by Courtney; recipe from Cooking Light
Sumac grows in abundance throughout the Mediterranean, and its dried, ground
berries are a fruity and astringent spice widely used in Middle Eastern cooking.
If you can't find sumac, substitute 1/4 teaspoon grated lemon rind. You may need
to add up to a tablespoon of water if the mixture is too thick to process
smoothly. Serve with pita wedges or sliced veggies.
2 cups frozen green peas
1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
3 tablespoons tahini (sesame-seed paste, optional)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 garlic clove, chopped
1/4 teaspoon ground sumac
Cook peas in boiling water 3 minutes; drain and rinse with cold water.
Drain. Place peas and next 6 ingredients (through garlic) in a food processor,
and process until smooth. Spoon pea mixture into a small serving bowl; chill.
Sprinkle with sumac just before serving.
